[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Questions about RS6000

davem@cs.umr.edu (Dave Mentis) (09/28/90)

I've not kept up with this group much lately, so I apologize for
posting this request if it's been addressed before.....

We are considering the purchase of RS6000's in the future.
I'd appreciate any information anyone can supply....

A few obvious questions that come to mind:

1) What hardware have you purchased ?
2) What version of the operating system are you using ?
3) What kind of environment do you operate in / what kinds of applications
   do you perform ?
4) What additional software / hardware is available for the system from
   IBM / 3rd party ?
5) What do you like / dislike about your system , from the viewpoint of
   "you" being :

   a) systems administrators  ?
   b) (applications / end) users  ?



I'm certain there's much more to ask, but I'll let those who know the answers
tell me what's important to know. Thanks,
